hey guys I bought an 03 ba xr6t manual on tuesday privately and noticed that sometimes it would surge so decided to do a full service today and am not very happy. noticed oil leaking around the head so took off the intercooler piping and inlet and noticed oil under the head cover.pulled off the cover and more oil.so took the coils out and they were covered in all!and the first 4 plugs were soaked in oil which explains the surging I think.the car wasnt overheating or running weird it was running fine. can someone help me out and tell me whats the best way to approach this situation.taking it to a mechanic monday for the verdict:(

also forgot to mention that's it had a brand new typhoon bottom end put in at 118,000 kms and he gave me reciepts for them and it was done properly I think..machined and all lines replaced or something.its currently at 150,000 so I didnt think that could happen in such a short time.its running 12 psi and full exhaust and monza front mount.how did this happen?

There are some round seals that fit under the rocker cover that sealthe oil from entering the spark plugs. That is where your leak is coming from. They may not have replaced those seals if they took the rocker cover off because the ford vrs gasket kit does not include them.
